Not sure, but if additional motivating examples are required, there is a
common pattern for dynamic attribute lookup (snippet from `copy.py`):
reductor = dispatch_table.get(cls)
if reductor:
rv = reductor(x)
else:
reductor = getattr(x, "__reduce_ex__", None)
if reductor:
rv = reductor(4)
else:
reductor = getattr(x, "__reduce__", None)
if reductor:
rv = reductor()
else:
raise Error("un(shallow)copyable object of type %s" % cls)
which can with the current `binding expression` syntax simplified to:
if reductor := dispatch_table.get(cls):
rv = reductor(x)
elif reductor := getattr(x, "__reduce_ex__", None):
rv = reductor(4)
elif reductor := getattr(x, "__reduce__", None):
rv = reductor()
else:
raise Error("un(shallow)copyable object of type %s" % cls)
which becomes much clearer, at least in my opinion.
With kind regards,
